Troubleshooting
Scuffs on white leather
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner or a magic eraser very carefully.
Yellowing of translucent outsole
This is a natural aging process for translucent soles. Minimize UV exposure when not in use and clean regularly.
Creases in leather
Creasing is normal with wear. To minimize the appearance, use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely.
